International photography contest «Food, a challenge for the future of the planet!»

OUR ASSOCIATION

Founded in 2006 in Geneva, «J’aime ma Planète» is comitted to sustainable development education in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. We offer activities, exhibitions, children’s workshops and outdoor excursions on several themes to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote a sustainable way of life. We mainly work with children from 4 to 18 years old in schools but we also organise educational exhibitions for the general public. In 2015, we became the official representative of the Eco-Schools programme in Switzerland, the largest international environmental education programme for sustainable development focusing on schools all around the world.

OUR EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITION PROJECT

As part of our educational activities, we have decided to develop our first exhibition: “Food, a challenge for the future of the planet!“. The exhibition will aim to raise awareness of the environmental impact of food and to promote practices that can help to reduce this impact. It will highlight human, cultural, social and economic issues that we are facing today in terms of food, related to the environment, to initiate a reflection on possible future solutions to move towards a more sustainable and a more solidarity-based lifestyle.

OUR PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST

To develop our educational exhibition «Food, a challenge for the future of the planet!», we are launching an international photography contest, open to everyone, on food issues. We will choose the most beautiful photographs that we receive to illustrate posters for our exhibition.
